Disc speed.
Check the speed of the disc before fitting to your angle
grinder. Never use a disc with a guaranteed rpm speed less than the rpm
speed of your angle grinder. See specification on page 16.
2. The outside diameter and thickness of your accessories must be within the
capacity rating of the power tool. The correct size accessories can be
correctly guarded and controlled.
3.
Inspect the disc before fitting.
Never use a disc that is chipped, cracked or
damaged. Fragments from a broken or damaged disc can cause serious
injury. Make sure that defective discs are destroyed and not used.
4.
Handling and mounting discs.
Bonded abrasive products are breakable
and shall therefore be handled with utmost care. The use of damaged or
improperly mounted or used abrasive products is dangerous and can
cause serious injuries.
5.
Disc usage.
Always refer to the label for specified usage and observe the
safety information. Do not use for purposes other than specified. Discs for
wet cutting applications must not be used with this angle grinder.

Use the correct disc.
Always use the correct disc for it’s intended task. Using
the wrong disc can cause serious injury.
7.
Using the disc.

adapters to adapt large hole abrasive discs. Do not force a disc onto a
grinding machine or alter the size of the arbor hole.

Inspect each disc before each use for chips,
cracks, excess wear. If the tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install a new accessory. After fitting the accessory, position
yourself away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the tool at
full speed. damaged discs are likely to break apart during this test.

transported with care. Abrasive products shall be stored in such a manner
that they are not subjected to mechanical damage and harmful
environmental influences.
